Who cares what past final fantasy games did anyway?
Look to the future.
Be imaginative.
Not derivative.

Maybe you should have read who/what I was responding to before you made your troll? Console RPG =/= MMORPG and there is implementation/cost to think about. The only other FF MMO on the market didn't have a train because it didn't fit with the style of the game nor was it practical. Same goes for FFXIV.
I think that a train would fit the garlean empire, airships have the freedom of the sky but trains are stuck on rails. Which would fit the garleans need to control the populace in their borders not to mention they more than have the technology to do it.
A train that served only an immersion/graphical purpose seen in the background of a certain area is a GREAT idea and would definitely fit the magitek heavy Garlean Empire.
But for actual transportation nah it's pointless. A train would do the same thing an airship does...but on the...ground...
Now I get to correct you!
1 - No train
2 - No train
3 - No train
4 - No train
5 - No train
6 - Phantom Train
7 - Midgar Train
8 - Timber train
9 - Gargan and Fossil Roo I guess count...and the Lindblum trolley
10 - No train
11 - No train
12 - No train (mine carts don't count, and the Barheim passage is abandoned)
13 - train
14 - No train
Almost all? I count 5 with, 9 without.
HOW YOU LIKE THAT?!
You missed a few.
FFT (Ability) Still a train
FF7 - Crisis Core (Opening Scene)
FF7 - Before Crisis (Multiple Scenes)
FFXII had Trolley Trains to get around that one advanced tech city.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers - Trains are main form of transportation and heavily part of sections of the story including a stealth infiltration mission (which was actually a lot of fun)
I'm sayin' this right now.
SCREW FFT.
SCREW IT.
Let that word RESOUND.
I'm only talking about numbered Final Fantasy games. Crisis Core and Before Crisis don't count, nor does Crystal Chronicles.
And the trolleys in Archadia were air cabs. They were not on rails.
And even if you did count them, you'd be at 10 with, 9 without, which even though it's over 50%, it could not be considered "almost all" of them.
I'm sorry but you can't discount non-numbered FF's. You might not like them but plenty of us loved them. and if it really upsets you that much I fixed the comment to say "Since 6"
